  • Atmforum: ATS published by the ATM-Forum

Both of them can be installed and executed under Clarinet-system (version number > 8.0) running Windows 9x or Windows NT.

The directory names are listed in the index.htm file of the CD-ROM.

The directory corresponding to each ETS includes:

  • Directories Disk1, Disk2... to install the ETS.

  • A directory named Run containing Clarinet events files which can be copied manually or only edited from the CD-ROM (see more information below).

ETS directory content

The ETS sub-directory (name provided in index.htm) installed on the PC includes everything needed to execute the ETS:

Each sub-directory includes:

  • Tester Templates
  • PICS/PIXIT files filled with standard parameters
  • Documentation files (Word 7.0 and Acrobat) format:
    • ETS_ope: Provides information about ETS operation (templates files, profiles...).
    • ETS_ref: Provides information about ETS reference (ATS origin).
  • IUT profiles, filters to run the Clarinet
  • Object files allowing modification of the ATS and to compile with Clarinet TTCN development package:
    • custom.obj.
    • userop.obj

Samples of execution

The directory named Run contains Clarinet events files. The files result from the running of the ETS in front of standard IUT. They provide some help to customers who want to see the TTCN trace and the PDU exchange. They can be edited with the Clarinet Event-Editor. A filter is generally also included but may need updating depending on the Clarinet Run-Time version used.
